Double install SH3?

Rafael · 06-30-09, 07:29 PM

Hello Kaleun's!

Can somebody help me with this question?

1) I have installed SH3 + GWX 3.0 + SH3 Commander. All works perfect!

2) I want to install SH3 again, to try it with LSH3 v4. So that I am able to see how LSH3 is. But don't want to loose my SH3 + GWX 3.0 installation!

When I try to install it again, Windows XP (SH3 DVD) gives me three options?

A. Change the program.
B. Repair the installation.
C. Delete (remove) SH3 from my computer.

I bought the DVD at amazon.com, two month's ago, the latest patch is installed on the DVD and it is not necessary to leave the SH3 DVD in the computer. I don't have any crack NoCD. It's not needed and I don't have a serial number too?

The DVD is original, but how can I install it twice on one computer?

Thanks!

I'll point you to a post by the ever-knowledgeable and all around good guy TarJak that should answer your question: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...38&postcount=3

EDIT: Err...that answer requires an install of the program "Multi SH3" which I can't find a working link to at the moment. Hopefully someone will come along with one...

Found it in old SHIII mods thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=141242

It will be under Utilities.

Sorry guys, but I don't understand how it is explained?

I am an 'Apple' man and I don't understand that you are able to rename the program files folder? Because in that case nothing will work anymore.

I cannot find MultiSH3, but I have seen MultiSH4 on this website.

In Google I cannot find a donwload link for MultiSH3 ... is the only option to delete (remove) my SH3 + GWX 3.0 and go for a fresh install ... to try LSH3 v4.

Or is it enough to remove (if possible) via SH3 Commander only GWX 3.0 and install with SH3 Commander LSH3 v4? Thus leave the original SH3 installation?

Thanks again!

You shouldn't rename "c:\Program Files" to something else, if that is what you mean. You should FIRST copy the folder that IS the (still virgin) SH3 folder. Paste it onto the drive, and rename that pasted folder.

For those reading this that do run Vista do not install it in the 'Program Files' folder. It hates when the user makes changes/moves files there. Unless you like to acknowledge User Account Control over and over. Older Windows OSses like XP do not mind it (or maybe that is because they have administrator privaleges by default), but I'm sure future windows versionswill threat the Program Files folder with the same vigilance.

Thanks for your answer. You are also from The Netherlands, so I suppose you speak and write Dutch too?

My son is on vacation, I will ask him to do it. That was indeed what I meant ... to rename C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII but that would be incorrect.

I still don't understand how to do it myself (me dummy), I have now MultiSH3 and wait for my son.

"You should FIRST copy the folder that IS the (still virgin) SH3 folder." ???

Still virgin?

Anyway ... thanks
